- Norm is what i refer to my normal standing position with relative horizontal perspective, i.e. not downwards on ground elements or upwards to a high building.
- 10-50m means the estimated distance from camera to the focal point
- EFL, my own invented term for effective focal length, x 1.5 due to nikon's partial-sized sensor
- tripod, is on gitzo G1058 and ballhead is manfrotto 190mf3
- spot focus means i put my cam as spot metering and the spot is the same with the focus point.
my iso is relatively low, and i think D50 is good at reducing noise too, maybe that's why.
will post a larger original size crop.
